Bobbob, you didn't ruin my experience, but you did get it all wrong. I don't post on Salmon Time. I look at it occasionally, but it's not my taste. I joined early on, but that was months and months ago. I haven't posted or signed in since last spring. If you want to find my account, ban me!  Drake seems to lurk here, and sent me a PM that I could have brought to the cops, let alone admins. I did neither. I replied in kind, though a little more to the point. He got it wrong, too. It's just my take that a fishing forum can take many paths, I choose to avoid the ones that mimic political campaigns of lies and one-upmanship.  My use of the infantile  z's was in response to Lucky's post. As is easy to do, I though his use of colonoscopy was somehow directed at me. After some careful deciphering I realize he may have been referring to one looming in his future. Mea culpa.   At any case, I could care less about being victimized,  it comes down to use of time. I don't speak any languages, except a  tiny smattering of German and Spanish, and have no ready translation app.   I've been careless about my use of words and so I won't waste any more of anyone's time. I'll gladly buy lunch, net fish, etc...  - old school.  Seeya on the river, or not.  And wouldn't you know I think I posted this in the wrong thread. Fitting end.

Good Luck L

Good luck Lucky, I have the fun of getting those every year

Taking it in the keister two ways man. Not cool......

Well someone did a rain dance we got well over an inch maybe close to two last night

Just looking at the national weather radar and I see Matthew is making his way through central PA. and drifting East.  I was just wondering, seeing the the weather in upstate NY, if that is a outer band from the hurricane and will it help the criks and streams that are so low right now.  Most likely temporary at best, I suppose.
 
Looks like Connecticut is gonna get a good soaking for sure with the rest of the north east getting their share of rain too.
 
Tight lines
 

Thanks Troutbum it just looks like some of the outer bands last evening were being tossed up toward and into PA. and this morning it appears the storm continues moving to the north.  I see the system moving west to east across the great lakes, unfortunately not likely to do much good for the streams a criks on a long term bases.
 
 
 
 
 
 

From the radar map it looks as though Mathew is beginning to pullback to the coastline and truck north but were it ends up is anybody's  guess.  Weather dudes are still saying the storm will swing ESE as it moves back out into the Atlantic.
 
Just nice to see the thing dying down and moving out so the people of Florida, Georgia and, the Carolina's can start their recovery and get back to their normal lives.  
 
                                                

Very quick comment ,
Sunny and 70 on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea .
I'm all screwed up on time zone though.
Be well and chat when I return

Well , tomorrow will be a 1/2 day of conference and then we have the rest of the week to explore . Word is there are no sharks in the med sea only little fishes . Think it is safe to grab a mask and snorkel and see what's out there .
The food is very strange to me and getting adapted to the time is a struggle , I'm wide awake at 2-3am but dead tired at 12 pm here .
Our conference next October is in Delhi India , not sure if I can take this world travel stuff enough to go to India

I seen your pm Jack but given limited internet service have not investigated the link .
Yes it's midnight here and we are enjoying a dance club with French culture .

We made it up from the med sea up to Paris today . Went from a small fishing village resort to a 4.5 * Paris grand hotel . Price increased dramatically . The village was very laid back . One could get a heineken and full course meal for less then $20 euro, wine included . Up here it is $10euro just for a beer , no wine and a hamburger is $20 euro.
Oh well, 1 night in Paris is fine enough .
Today we went to the Eiffel Tower , a grand sight indeed but a tourist trap for sure ..
I think we spent more $$ in 1 day in Paris then we did in 6 along the Rivera , including the lodging down there .
While the weather ( aka weather thread ) is quite fine here , 69-70 during the day and 60-50 at night , I'm so looking forward to getting back to the great north east where the climate suites my clothes !!

Personally , from this experience , I would NEVER recommend France as destination for vacation or travel .

We thought this trip was going to be exclusively based outta Paris and wanted to spend some time in holland and Germany but that wasn't the case .
My daughter is getting married next year and her fiancée was stationed in Germany and really likes the country so that's their plans for honeymoon .

I agree , ice frogs suck

Rained and rained all day. Ground is saturated and so am I

I was worried about the steelies getting beat up with the low water
